How can I access my Iomega external hard drive?  When I plug it into my USB port it shows on your DESKTOP.  I try to back up files on my external hard drive, but I can't get even the external hard drive on my computer.  Thanks for help.

Hi Larryxcvb,

1. what happens when you try to access the driver? You receive messages or error codes?

2. other USB devices (USB key, etc.) recognized and works very well without any problem?

You can check the following link and try to run the Fixit of material.

  • How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

    I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive.

    Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

    It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

    Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

    If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

    If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

    You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop
